A Roasted Star

This weekend's highlight consisted of the single-most glamorous diaphonous top worn by none other than the single-most glamorous Lady Miss Pamela Anderson during her Comedy Central Roast which aired last night and forced me to take two late-night trains from Flatbush just to arrive home before 1am.

All worth it though, definitely all worth it.

The event, not only a tribute to the ample talents and wonders of this nymphette, was also a dizzying showcase of odd celebrity with the lineup of roasters including such campy characters as Courtney Love, Lady Bunny, Dennis Rodman, and a glorious-yet-corpse-like Bea Arthur, who received a standing ovation and read aloud a couple of the more salacious passages from PamAn's latest book, StarStruck (one discussing the main character, Star's, discovery of anal sex...).

There's always something funny about watching an old hag on her death bed talk dirty.

Among those attending but not partaking of the roasting, Anna Nicole Smith was in the audience, and I swear at one point I saw Charo at a front table. The only person missing really from this comedic cabal was Paul Ruebens or Kathy Griffin.














Some highlights of the evening:

*The conspicuous sight of Pamela's nipples through her translucent top, which I must say she had placed in rather odd places once they put them back on (you can read all about this procedure in book one: Star; a copy of which is located at 1352 to be checked out care of Miss Michelle and Live 105).

*Host Jimmy Kimmel to Pamela: "With the publication of Pamela's second book she has now officially written more books than she's read."

*Comedian Nick DiPalmo: "If I was a baby seal and I had a choice between being clubbed to death or watching an episode of 'Stacked,' I'd be like, 'Somebody call J. Lo and let her know her mittens are ready."

*Host Kimmy Kimmel to Courtney Love after her repeated assertions that she had been sober for a year: "If you're not on drugs, you've got problems."

*Courtney: "Pamela is the kind of girl that you sleep with and can't wait to tell all your friends about it. I'm the kind of girl you tell none of your friends about and go see a doctor."

*Pamela regarding Courtney: "Wasn't Courtney funny. I knew she could do comedy, I just didn't know she could stand up."

There were also several touching moments, one coming awkwardly from Hugh Heffner, and several moments of small tribute to the efforts Pamela has made in her support of PETA.

All money received by Pamela for the taping of the show ($200,000) also went to support the organization.
